"Hey, Bec." Chris smiles as I walk into the cafeteria for lunch.

"Hey." I smile and start to head over to my table when Chris calls out for me. I turn and raise an eyebrow.

"You guys can come sit here. All of you." He gestures to the table and his friends.

"Yeah. We don't care. We are tired of Anna and her bitches anyway. Y'all are better." One of the guys say. James, I think he name is?

"Alright. I'll be back in a sec." I smile at them all and place my stuff at their table and then go to my friends.

"Hey guys. Let's go." I state when I get there and they look at me like I'm mental.

"We were just offered a stop at the high table. All of us." I tell them and they gasp.

"No way." Claire, Abby, and Nick all say at the same time.

"Yep. And I said that we will. They are tired of Anna and her bitch squad so they have the open space for better people." I help grab my friends things and walk back to Chris's table.

"Thanks for letting us sit here." I tell them and put my friends stuff down as they sit beside me and Chris, Chris's friends sit on the other side of the table.

"Hi I'm James. We are glad to have some nice people here for once." The guy who spoke earlier says and extends a hand to Claire, Abby, and Nick. They introduce them selves, Chris's friends included, and the topic goes off on some random thing about how peanut butter is really bad for your immune system. Don't ask me, I have no clue.

I find out that the guy across from me with light brown hair and brown eyes is Jake, the guy to his left is Mason, who has a lip piercing and then there's James.

James is more of the nerdy but preppy type of guy who loves to play soccer and watches alot of nerd movies in his spare time.

Jake is the really preppy type of guy. He isn't very nerdy but he loves to read fiction books and plays the drums and football for the school.

And Mason is that one person that you have in your life that is always quiet and never speaks unless a verbal answer is needed. He loves science and math and plays guitar.

"What the hell are they doing here?" I here her voice and turn around to face her.

"Replacing you." James answers with a hint of a smirk on his face. I am almost tempted to smirk at her and do the very Immature "Burnnnnnn" but decide against it.

"What does that mean?!" She practically screams, half of the cafeteria turning to look at what the commotion is.

"That you aren't wanted here, obviously." I smile sweetly at her.

"You stupid bitch!" She screams at me and goes to take a step toward me but I stand up, proud and strong.

"Oh honey don't say that about your self. It's not good for the soul." I here people crack up in giggles around me but I pay them no heed. "Oh wait," I smile. "I almost forgot that you don't have one."

"She has a soul! It's even bigger than her dad's dick!" Kim comes out from behind the crowd and I almost gasp.

"Are you saying you've fucked my dad?" Anna spins on her 'friend'.

"Um... That's not the point." Kim says nervously.

"Ha, you've slept with your so-called-friend's dad." I burst into laughter and have to bend over to ease the cramp. I hear people laughing all around me and I look behind to see all my friends, old and new, trying to contain their laugher.

"You...You bitch! Ughhhhhh!" She stomps away, her minions following close behind, including Kim.

"Chris can we keep her? Pleaseeeeeeeee?" James begs when I sit back down.

"Of course. This is their new spot. No one's taking it from them. All four of them are welcomed here anytime." He responds, smiling.

"Jeeze, did you see the look on her face when Kim practically said she slept with Anna's dad?" I hear people say as they sit back in their normal seats.

I look at my phone and see that I still have forty minutes till lunch is over so I take out my lunch bag, yes I still pack a lunch cuz the school lunch is just ew, and pull out my bag of lays chips. I go to open them but feel something wet hit the top of my head and slide down. I hear gasp around me and see my friends panic.

"I swear to god, Anna.." I warn before I stand up and turn around to find her grinning at me.

"Paybacks a bitch isn't it?" She brags.

"Yeah it goes along with you." I tell her before I turn around and grab a hand full of mashed potatoes off of Jake's plate, and some mustard, and turn toward her and 'place' it on her. In other words, I threw it at her then smeared it all down her perfect little cheer uniform.

"What the hell!" She screams.

"Paybacks a bitch isn't it?" I mock her and smile wickedly.

All of a sudden there is a banana flying and hits Anna on the top of her head.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Someone screams and then everything goes hay wire, food flying everywhere.

I duck as an apple is thrown and go under the table to find all my friends there already.

"Looks like I can cross this off of my 'to do before I die' list when I get home." I smile at them all.

"You had food fight on your bucket list too?!" James shrieks as a pear lands in front of him.

"Hell yeah. I started this shit. You need to do something before you can cross it off though." I reach over and grab the pear and place in it his hand.

"I don't know..." He says cautiously.

"It'll make you feel better." I promise him.

"Fine... Fuck it." He gets out from under the table and screams a war cry, throwing as much food as he can.

"I really hope we don't get in trouble..." Nick whispers beside me and I pity him. Not for him going to get in trouble but because I know what would happen if he does. His parents will either ship him off somewhere or literally beat the day lights out of him. He's a good student,never screws up anything. But his parents are drunks and abusers. He deserves so mush better.

"It'll be ok." I whisper back. "You know you're always welcomed over to my place if you need to come." His eyes start to water.

"Thank you so so much, for everything." He pulls me in for a hug. I wish he would stand up to them. But I get it. He's only a 16, a sophomore, as I'm an 18 year old senior. No one will believe him if he tried to report them, they never do. His parents simply deny it and act like real parents while the cops investigate. But they never have proof.

"I'm going to get you out of there. I promise." I whisper in his ear and the notice the cafeteria as gone very quiet. Too quiet.

"Who is responsible for this?" Even though it's from across the room, I make his voice out clear as day: it's Mr. Gray.

"Me." I stand up from under the table and my my voice loud and clear. "It was me."

I see the disappointment in his eyes, even from across the room.

"Come with me, Rebecca." He says and I oblige.

"It wasn't just her. Anna actually started it by pouring milk in her hair." Someone says and I look to my right and see Astor.

"We don't have proof of that. And she admitted it was her." Mr. Great responds.

"Actually we do have proof." I hear Chris say and walk up to the three of us. His phone in his hand. He presses play and turns it toward us.

Thank you for those who read even my stupid author notes. But I'm serious when I say you should make an account and follow me if you haven't already. I could really use the support on this book. I'm going to enter this into the wattys this year. If you don't know what the wattys are it's just a contest where thousands of people enter their book, a few judges read them, and then only 50 of those people get the wattys award.

Thanks for reading guys.
